Scarves Scarf Of The Day 2019 - Which Hermès scarf are you wearing today?

[Luvbolide]

I'm going East today for dancing
When I was an itty-bitty girl, I worked in a souvenir shop. Amongst the goods on sale were a series of silk paintings showing dancers from China's minority tribes. While packing house for my mum's move earlier in June, I came across the two I purchased all those years ago.

This dancer from the Yi tribe wears a pleated skirt. This tribe hails from the same general vicinity as the Miao tribe, so I'm not surprised that their skirts look an awful lot like the one in Cents Plis de Miao.

The other painting is of a dancer from the Tibetan tribe. Do you notice those flowing sleeves? There is a whole school of Chinese dance technique based on (literally translated) "water sleeves". As the dancer twirls, the flowing fine fabric will ripple like water. You can see the similar long sleeves in the two dancers in Galop Volant.

Dancing needs music. I'm sure these musical apsaras in Nikko are swaying along with the tunes from their lute and dizi.

And geishas of course undergo training in all the fine arts, including dance. Yes! I bought a grail this year!

You always know the coolest stuff! I will appreciate my Cents and my Gallop Volant more now!

 

[Croisette7]

Oooo, I love that last BDM in neutral colors, although all of them enhance you, Croisette7!


My bad, Cookiefiend! I didn't understand you. I'd still like to see your green version of my SSG! I have one in moutarde, too.

Thank you so much, bobkat!

This is beautiful on you, Croisette!

Thank you, Luvbolide!

Wiw. What a magnificent colorway of this iconic design!

IMO your CW is the best, Elaine.

Holsby, I don't swing much anymore. Although, with the right music, I am likely to "bust a move" or two whilst seated in my wheelchair. My high school boyfriend and I used to occasionally get a crowd of people around us to watch our dancing.

!!!!! That was what I saw. Your energy is visible in the picture!

Dancing Pearls - before I figured out that brown isn't my colour. I really need to find this a loving home
View attachment 4610849

Love Dancing Pearls! I know what you mean about some browns though. I’ve rehomed a few myself. Lovely hem on this one!

Isn’t this delightful! Triplets with @bunnycat and @xincinsin I think?
Les Bains on before I cut the tags, or changed to a fancier top—and I found a dancer doing the Limbo!
Altogether now! OH, THAT HEM! WONDERFUL!

These are beautiful, XCS! You are bringing all these designs into focus for me, especially Cent Plis. Now I get it!

 

[Cookiefiend]

@ElainePG Yes, it’s my first time using a Mors ring (and @Cookiefiend gets the credit for the knot!).

Perfect - this is marvelous on you!

Thank you, Xincinsin, this is a wonderful, informative post! The paintings are lovely, as are the scarves, of course. What name is the grail you mention, please?

 

[Karenska]

The Game

Ksuromax, what a great scarf and perfect for denim! I’m always interested in casual-looking scarves that pair well with denim and other blue jean colors. Plus, darker blues and other saturated colors look decent on me. That’s why Les Secrets de Minos in the navy and tan is one of my workhorses.

 

[xincinsin]

Thank you for letting me blabber on about all sorts of trivia.
@Cookiefiend and @Karenska, this is Geisha, also known as Japon, one of those scarves with no name. It was a grail for me but not on any particular wishlist. This is the type of design that I hope for but don't wish for, IYKWIM. The H fairy gave me quite a few unsought-for grails this year

[tlamdang08]

Thank you @xincinsin-and everyone who contributes this week-for all the knowledges that you- and everyone-shared. I am learning, please keep educating me

 

[xincinsin]

Fabulous, xincinsin ... as always! Lovely paintings!

Thank you, Croisette. Wish I'd bought more of the series of paintings.

Love Dancing Pearls! I know what you mean about some browns though. I’ve rehomed a few myself. Lovely hem on this one!

No one does contrast hems as brilliantly as H!

These are beautiful, XCS! You are bringing all these designs into focus for me, especially Cent Plis. Now I get it!

Thank you, moma!
